You intend to continue going straight ahead. Are you obliged to yield the right of way to the vehicle coming from the opposite direction that intends to turn left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you pass sign A-5 "crossroads" and approach an uncontrolled junction of equal roads; an oncoming car is turning left, crossing your path. You are going straight on, so it is the one that must give way to you. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver turning left gives way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction going straight on or turning right. Sign A-5 reminds you that the right of way here is not set by signs, so the general rules apply. However, having right of way does not free you from being careful: you watch whether the turning driver has stopped, and you are ready to brake if he drives in front of your bonnet.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 5 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
